Royal Challengers Bangalore – Player List

RCB is the only team squad with many Indian players rather than relying on international talents.

The Royal Challengers have always boasted about their destructive batting line up but have never had a balanced squad.

Hence, this year they made sure to have all the bases covered at the end of the auction.

In addition to retaining Virat Kohli, Ab de Villiers and Sarfaraz Khan in the team squad, the franchise roped in two more best batsmen- Brendon McCullum and Quinton de Kock.

The bowling looks extremely powerful in both spin and pace attacks.

While spinning is led by Yuzvendra Chahal, Washington Sundar and Pawan Negi, the pace bowling is led by Umesh Yadav, Nathan Coulter-Nile and Tim Southee.

With a strong players’ list on their side, the Royal Challengers might anticipate their first IPL championship.
